Local health officials around the country are using an old technology to help vaccine people against COVID-19. They re setting up low-powered AM radio transmitters made by a West Michigan company.
Information Station Specialists President Bill Baker says the mini-radio stations provide instructions to those waiting in line to get the vaccine. People arrive, and they don’t know what to do necessarily. It’s a lot to put on a sign for people to read because there’s various instructions. In some parts of the country, they’re calling different parties to come in for the vaccination at a given time to listening. So, they’re sort of using the radio systems as paging systems also.
